Cevap
The correct answer is that citizens elect representatives to the parliament to make laws and decisions on their behalf.
In a parliamentary democracy, the authority to make laws is vested in the parliament. Because it is a democracy, that authority comes from the people, who choose who will sit in that parliament during regular elections. These representatives are then responsible for making decisions that reflect the interests of the Australian people.
